Not sure how lists are showing up as disabled. The best theory we have right now is that if you hit the update-limit, then reinstalled PeerBlock and deleted your lists, the iblocklist.com servers might not have been able to detect this and so are blocking your initial list-updates. Without these initial list-updates, your fresh install of PeerBlock will be unable to block anything, since it has 0 IPs in its list-cache.
The iblocklist.com servers have been updated to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future - if it detects that your version has changed, it should allow you to get that initial update. Going forward, our next Beta (along with the next Stable, coming hopefully shortly thereafter) will include some additional code to tell the iblocklist.com servers that this is an initial list-update so that it can allow the update even if you'd otherwise be update-limited.
For those of you currently impacted by this, please switch versions of PeerBlock one more time - either from Beta to Stable, or vice-versa. This should let you download your lists at least once before the week expires.
If that doesn't work for some reason, please email your IP address to the I-Blocklist team at
support@iblocklist.com, and they will temporarily unblock your IP address to let you get that initial batch of lists downloaded.
Please let us know if these don't work for you - or if my understanding of your problem is incorrect - and we'll see what can be done to further fix things.
While we're continuing to work on sorting things out, I-Blocklist has temporarily excluded the P2P list from update-limit checking. This way you will be able to at least be somewhat protected after an initial (re)install. We definitely don't want people to be going completely unprotected!
Thanks again for bearing with us,
